TIRE AND DETECTION-ALARM MECHANISM THEREOF
First Claim
1. A tire, comprisinga main body comprising a plurality of ply layers and a plurality of rubber layers stacked in alternating order to form a main surface contacting the ground and two lateral surfaces;
- a wheel supporting the main body;
a tap disposed on the wheel for charging air into a space formed by the wheel and the main body; and
a sensor comprising a substrate disposed on the ply layers and at least one photoelectronic element fixed to the substrate, wherein when the rubber layers are cracked, light passes through the cracks and reaches the photoelectronic elements to generate signals.

Abstract
A detection-alarm mechanism is provided. The detection-alarm mechanism for a tire includes a sensor, an electronic processing unit, a post-processing unit and a display unit. The sensor includes a substrate disposed in the tire and at least one photoelectronic element fixed to the substrate. If the tire is cracked, light passes through the cracks and reaches the photoelectronic elements to generate signals. The electronic processing unit receives signals from the photoelectronic elements to generate wear information. The post-processing unit is disposed in a vehicle on which the tire is installed and receives wear information from the electronic processing unit. The display unit is disposed in the vehicle for presenting the wear information.
